  • This made me smile. My grandpa used to take me and my brother to school in the early mornings before my mom came home from work because she worked midnights, and my grandpa always listened to this and "The battle of New Orleans" and it just made me think about him and brought back some great memories, he passed away almost 3 years ago. Thanks for the Memories!

  • hahaha i heard this song on livelavalive 's account lol this is funny!

  • haha me too

    amazing

  • I first heard this song in the movie of the same name, starring John Wayne several years before Sarah Palin was born. It is sung by Johnny Horton, who died before Sarah Palin was born.

  • tyvm good stuff

  • Great video guys!! How in the world did you get so many hits!! Was that all Sarah Palin's doing?

  • to alaska!

  • Yes Sarah Palin ought to be buried benath the mountains in Alaska.What a dippy woman.

  • LMAO

  • Now, would you say something like this about somone you actually knew? What a dippy comment about a real person, regardless of one's politics. Silly woman.

  • Sarah Palin's song!

  • lol she wishes!

  • ahhaah

    I FOUND ALASKA!

  • dude it was mine you stole my alaska i want it back...NOW!!!

    xDD

  • Classic Johnny Horton song. thanks,

    Ben Gonsioroski

  • i wish Sarah Palin was still in the spotlight :(

  • haha... I love Livelavalive.

    "I FOUND ALASKA!"

    ahh wow. :D

  • Great song, great lyrics, great singer, great video.

    Governor Sarah -- stay as unspoiled as that wonderful state of yours...I am glad that you will not become a Washington insider, which turns honest people into dishonest sleaze-bags! Congrats on becoming a grandparent!

  • I love to listen to Jhonny Horton He's the best !

  • You should learn vocabulary instead of what you use on here my kids like to get on here to so you should stay off !

  • this is a very awsome video good job

  • THIS SONG IS AWESOMEEEE!!!

  • what do you want the house to be made of their was not a lot material in alaska then

  • LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

  • north to alaska! its gettin bawmy out there!

  • The "singing fisherman" as he was called died too young. He was a wonderful storyteller and historian. You did a fine job with the video.

  • Canada lost its claim to being a decent country when they gave up their rights individual firearms ownership. OPNly cops and crooks now own guns. Where does that leave honest citizens when their lives are threatened? Any gov't that takes away decent citizen's rights to self-defense is not a just gov't. and any citizens that don't topple such a gov't. are not just citizens.

  • I think this song was also the opening theme of a movie by the same name starring Fabian who was like a James Dean of the day.

  • Indeed. The song was in fact written FOR the movie; if you listen to the lyrics, Johnny's basically singing the plot.

  • God...this video sux!

  • Well, if you're in love with a loser I'm not surprised. This is an AWESOME song

  • One of the last best songs around and Alaska is truly the last best deals our gov't ever made!!

  • probably the best beer drinking song ever everyone knows the barratone WAY UP NORTH bit

  • I'm Aussie and heaps of us know and belt this out over a beer!

  • i use to live in alaska its the best place in the world

  • Superb, just superb!!!!!!!!

  • one of the best songs ever, im from sweden I love alaska

  • Ummm Canada has lots of stuff to do.....you just do not understand, Canadaians are not so fond of sitting infront of the t.v. (this is for thatXquietXchick

  • bahahah yeahh mee too!

  • This video captures the true essence of Alaska, the gold rush and the people who made it happen. Supreme!

  • 0:22-0:40 how long did it take for them to walk across the mountains? awesome.

  • alright. i cannot keep this song out of my head. xD i loveee iiittttt!

  • I kind of wondered about life there, maybe southern Canada like Toronto for me someday but I don't think Alaska. You never know though! I sailed once in the Navy there, loved seeing the cute puffin birds! Looked and felt like a really cold foggy depressing place when I was there otherwise, but that can bring out some cool crazy behavior so I bet I may like it there on land! Hey thanks for the video post!

  • oh my gosh!! a history lesson without the university degree.

    wow, these people had guts... thanks for sharing!!

  • I took I cruise to alaska, WAY better than any carribean one.

  • i will say alaska is amazing. Ive taken alot of carribean and alot of alaskan cruises as well. Ive traveled the world for many years. It depends what your looking for. if your looking to sip a mai tai and relax on a white sand beach, then carribean. If your looking to sightsee and adventure, fish, and be in the outdoors alaska is a must. Beautiful land there.

  • I liked your post about the gang signs, it cracked me up. I liked their pimp-daddy fur coats!

  • Where was the rally? I saw her in Loveland, CO and wish I had this song with me in the car.

    Since then, I recorded it and had it cranked up in the car today!!

  • One of my favorite songs! Thank You, and

    thank God for Sarah Palin.

  • Thank God this is where Sarah Palin will be going back to!

  • or not

  • Oh Lord, I have never lived where steeples grow. I loved your creation as you finished it so long ago. And you looked on your work and called it good. I know that others find you in the light thats filtered down through tinted window panes. And yet I seem too feel you near tonight. In this dim,quiet starlight on the plains.{By George Badger Clark written for his mother. }

  • I Love This Song.!!

    Thank You.

    From

    James Dean.

    Go Sarah With Love.

  • My mum regularly went crazy when we heard this song on the radio in the early eighties: It often was on 'Evergreens a Go-Go'; a famous radio oldie show in Berlin those days, which HAD to be on during sunday morning breakfast. So now, another bunch of years later, this track has become a sweet little memory from my as well as from my mum's young years - kind of funny that...

    Anyway, Peter, thanks a lot towards Down Under for the really beautiful pictures you added to this nice melody!

  • The song predates the movie by several decades.

  • Thank you.

  • Does anyone know if this song was made for the movie, or they used this song for the movie?

  • What a great video and music. Thanks for sharing mrtibbs6912!

  • Stop calling Sarah a pig!

    You are pissing off the pigs.

  • pallin upsets the baby murderer crowd.....tsk tsk.....they will have an eternity to get over it in the underground volcano they are going to.

  • and im sure your imaginary friend in the clouds will give you a mystical kingdom for following a book of racism and prejudice.

    You ignorant excuse for a person.

  • Luv this video and this song is awesome! Lots of great memories with my dad! :)

  • This is a very well done video. The scenery and old pics are beautiful and I love the song. ...then, politics came to mind and I started reading the comments.

    ...I'm an environmentalist [aka treehugger] -

    It baffles me as to how anyone who cares about the planet can support Sarah.

  • i love this song and the movie. and that movie has john wayne in it!

  • why do you people get after a person ... why dont you just come on out and say you want Socialism none of ya have a pair you like Lennin and Mao and Stallin ... hell .. why dont you just come on out and say it ....

  • Sarah Palin is a liar. I want us to sing this song to her on election day.

    North to Alaska, Sarah Palin!

  • Sarah Palin!

    McCain/Palin 2008!

  • thank you

  • I'm Alaskan born, Alaskan raised! Long live the Last Frontier!!! :)

  • lol nice man im in texas

  • People in New Mexico all ready have there name's on lists to go to Alaska for the next oil and gas boom

  • I'm already in alaska waiting. Dollar signs in my eyes.

  • That's your opinion.

  • I can see Russia from my porch!

  • Seeing how russia is about 300 miles off the coast of alaska, i doubt that

  • I know that.....Tell that to the idiot who is running for vice president.... that is her foriegn policy experience.I can see Russia fro my porch.

  • Palin obviously is an itelligent women, shes the governer of alaska, and has a prominent position on a number of high end enterprises, and she has the qualifications for VP of the USA, just because she makes a statement that was obviously exagurated doesnt mean shes an idiot, because obviously shes not.

  • it was a skit from snl..can you tell fact from fiction? bet you think they are still on that island also.

  • the skit from sln was in fact taken from john mccain when he introducted her to the public after he named her to the ticket

  • ....Sarah and me BOTH members of the NRA....

  • Haha, I love how he sings Alassska!

  • old day yayayayayay

  • I would rather not ,talk politcs too but maybe we could use a man like jhonny in the white house. we all know were tiired of the rich running the country.

  • You are so right about the rich running the country. John only has 7 houses,but none are white.

  • Great Blend of Vintage photographs,with the modern ones,my Great Grandfather was in Alaska at the time.Thank You Rich M.

  • How about we just listen to the music and talk politics somewhere else.

  • Best idea I have heard in years!

  • CHeck out our ALaska Videos on our page!

  • then you work for me while i get money from you cuz thats exactly whats happening if im not working

  • Outstanding bro. Palin is the greatest inspiration to America that has ever happened for some time now, she has created the spark we have needed from politicians for some time now, like no other person before. She gives Americans hope and a solid sense of security.

  • No she does not. Obama however does.

  • Sarah Palin!

    End the Monkey Business.....NOBAMA!

    McCain/Palin 2008!

  • stupid joke............... Nobama

  • Great video with a great song. Thanks for sharing. Well Done.

  • Excellent video.

  • Hi, it's me, Secretia Collins here from SecretiaTV... I have never tried to put lipstick on my good friend, Sally Palin, but we were both vetted for the VP position. Except I was unable to keep my VP slot open for Johnny & Cindy.

  • love, love this one... i wonder does anyone know the name of the first take he has on this song. i heard once years ago.. it was like an earlyer version to this song.. cant seem to find it anywhere

  • What are you talking about?

  • One of the best song by Johnny Horton!!

    Thanks for sharing!!10/10*!!!

  • This song was dedicated to the goldminers,not to the oil companies.Don`t use ballads like this in yuore campaigne for US presidency.Please!

  • What .. you don't believe the people that fight freezing cold weather and the harshest of conditions to bring us the much needed oil that we ALL depend on, is as noble a pursuit as someone looking to make themselves rich with Gold? Get real.

  • You took my comment.Though Palin rules? there as gouverneur,but the oily booths are kickin`her on the ....I`ll take that much part to US presidency campaigne.

  • Awesome video! Love the pics of the Aurora Borealis. I love this song!!!! And I love the movie!! I think its one of his best! Thanks for sharing!

  • I oughta listen to more Johnny Horton, he really is good, he has a clear, calm voice in the midst of a lot of noise made by traffic.

  • Johnny was the best

  • Seemingly, most of his songs were clean and very decriptive. Died way too young in a traffic accident-circa 1960.

  • Great.

    5*

  • great video timing was great on the pics and the lyrics!!!

  • Beautiful! Thanks from Israel!

  • fig... thats right,love is everlastng

  • ought to be Palin's theme song

  • Great song!!!!!!

  • I grew up in Rhodesia and a Rhodesian singer composed a song called North to Rhodesia to the tune of North to Alaska...a big hit in the 1960s...Rhodesia and Alaska were settled about the same time and for the same reason...gold!!!!

  • Yep! Oklahoma where the wind blows all day long and trees are what we call a bush here! And the rivers are about as wide as our creeks, sadly home to a lot of American Indians that the white man robbed! We are Cherokee and the Trail of Tears started here!
